Chewelah - Accueil à 49 Degrees North Ski Hill & Festival de Chataqua!

I built this home with the property in mind of the breathtaking Quartzite mountain views and the Chewelah Creek that runs through the Park on the next block.

I bought this property in Chewelah (chew-ee-lah) after visiting Spokane for the Wold's Fair in 1974. I found that it was quaintly nestled between Spokane, with it's roaring Spokane Falls at Riverfront Park and Manitou Park Botanical Gardens and Colville, just to the south of the Canadian Border known for it's white water rafting, tubing and plentiful fishing. Chewelah is surrounded by the Colville National Forest and the 29 lakes and rivers surrounding it for family boating, fishing, water skiing, jet-skiing, swimming and sunbathing activities and found this beautiful scenic area a place to behold and enjoy permanently.

'A Place for All Seasons' - Winter kicks off with the opening of 49 Degrees North Ski Hill where you can Ski & Snowboard to your hearts content down it's many runs and slopes. Snowmobiling trails in the National Forest lead all the way to the Idaho border for a day of fun filled traveling. Spring brings in the start of fishing season, hikers abundant on newly cleared trails and the budding of new life starting to sprout on the hearty trees and colorful flowers. Summer sings with a bounty of festivities, such as the well known with a Vintage Car Show and weekly Farmer's Market (Fridays) held in town at the Chewelah Park located a block away from the property. The Farmer's Market not only shows off an abundance of produce fresh from the ground, but is also home to numerous baked goods such as pies, breads, cinnamon rolls, jellies & jams, jewelry,mushrooms, crafts, soaps, and leather goods all locally/hand made from Washingtonians. Fall brings in the end of the harvest season with wild berry picking of all sorts (blackberry, red raspberry and huckleberries) and jump starts the hunting season, while green leaves turn to the colorful eye pleasing shades of red, orange and brown, a relish to the photographers eye. Spring brings on the fishing season and golfing just up the street. Hiking & Mushrooming are the avid travelers dream. Summer is the boast of the season with it's fresh locally grown Farmers Market, the lakes/rivers water activities, and the infamous local car shows, antiquing and and many other outdoor activities at the City Park just a block away across the creek.
